Title: Collared crow 清水灣有白頸鴉
Post by Andrew on Aug 28^th, 2006, 9:07am

I saw a Collared Crow sitting on a telegraph pole in Clearwater Bay yesterday evening. This was my first sighting of this species in 20m of living in the area. The Avifauna suggests this is not a typical site. I'd be interested to know whether others have seen any. At the same time a White-bellied sea eagle flew over :)

Hi Andrew

Collared Crows seem to be spreading at present from their stronghlds on Dong Ping Chau and especially Deep Bay.

Richard Lewthwaite had 77 at Shuen Wan a couple of weeks ago and I saw a couple at the Hong Lok Yuen Roundabout at the bottom of Lam Tsuen a couple of months ago.

I also saw them from South Horizons several years ago going to and from Aberdeen Country Park.

They do wander - but a nice record nonetheless.

I've seen the WB Sea Eagle that hangs around Central a few times recently also.

Cheers
Mike K
